Don't worry about those ugly links. Just type out or copy/paste the links as plain text into the window and FuseTalk will parse the links for you correctly.

Damn, I'd say you got your money's worth! What did the instructor say when you guys landed after the chute didn't open?

Yeah, seriously. :Q Were they like, "Haha! Man! Good times, huh? Oh, don't worry about that. That happens like every other jump!"
 
My wife and I went tandem about 3 weeks ago. There were 4 of us and we got a group rate of $144 each. Had the time of my life and would definitely do it again and recommend to others.

OP - would you do it again based on this experience?
 
man, looks like fun. One day I want to go sky diving. almost went when i was in college but the trip fell through. hopefully i'll get to try it too.
 
i went skydiving for 125$ was such a rush! i would love to do it again, stepping out of the plain, you are just like "WTF?@#@ AHHHH"
